Design and Fabrication of Self-Powered Micro-Harvesters [EPUB ebook] 
Rotating and Vibrated Micro-Power Systems

Presents the latest methods for designing and fabricating
self-powered micro-generators and energy harvester
systems
Design and Fabrication of Self-Powered Micro-Harvesters
introduces the latest trends of self-powered generators and energy
harvester systems, including the design, analysis and fabrication
of micro power systems. Presented in four distinct parts, the
authors explore the design and fabrication of: vibration-induced
electromagnetic micro-generators; rotary electromagnetic
micro-generators; flexible piezo-micro-generator with various
widths; and PVDF electrospunpiezo-energy with interdigital
electrode.
Focusing on the latest developments of self-powered
microgenerators such as micro rotary with LTCC and filament winding
method, flexible substrate, and piezo fiber-typed microgenerator
with sound organization, the fabrication processes involved in MEMS
and nanotechnology are introduced chapter by chapter. In addition,
analytical solutions are developed for each generator to help the
reader to understand the fundamentals of physical phenomena. Fully
illustrated throughout and of a high technical specification, it is
written in an accessible style to provide an essential reference
for industry and academic researchers.
* Comprehensive treatment of the newer harvesting devices
including vibration-induced and rotary electromagnetic
microgenerators, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)
nanoscale/microscale fiber, and piezo-micro-generators

temperature co-fire ceramic) processes, and PCB (printed circuit
board) processes
* Offers interdisciplinary interest in MEMS/NEMS technologies,
green energy applications, bio-related sensors, actuators and
generators
* Presented in a readable style describing the fundamentals,
applications and explanations of micro-harvesters, with full
illustration
